Cottages by the Sea - in Colour Ed. 5 of 12

This sweet linocut of a seafront village sitting at the foot of rolling hills is an original limited edition linocut.

A row of intricately carved houses are nestled between a harbour wall and a background of patterned shapes representing farmland. Handcoloured with watercolours the row of white cottages have coloured doors and roofs. The landscape is picked our in greens, yellow, browns and purples under a blue sky.

This linocut is part of a limited edition of 12 relief printed and handcoloured on 300gsm cotton rag paper. Signed, numbered, titled and dated on the front.

Due to the nature of handcolouring there will be small differences in colours throughout the edition.
